Document Summary
Latent learning: learning occurs despite the absence of any observable indication of learning and only becomes apparent under a different set of conditions. Reciprocal determinism: environment influences the individual while the individual influences the environment. Counter control: deliberate manipulation of environment events to alter their impact on our behaviour. Startle response: a defensive reaction to a sudden, unexpected stimulus involving the automatic tightening of skeletal muscles as well as various hormonal and visceral changes. Reflex: relatively simple automatic response to a stimulus. Orienteering response: we automatically position ourselves to facilitate attending to a stimulus. Reflex arc: is a neural structure that underlies many reflexes and consists of a sensory neuron, interneuron and motor neuron. Excitatory conditioning (cs+): the neutral stimulus is associated with the presentation of a. Inhibition conditioning (cs-): the neutral stimulus is associated with the presentation of the removal of a unconditioned stimulus (cs- predicts that something is not going to happen)
